There’s a debate raging over in the Bluesky world about whether or not infrastructure providers on ATprotocol should be neutral carriers or if people running things like PDS servers should be able to choose who they host. It’s an interesting read and worth thinking about. From a Nostr perspective it’s like arguing for a custodial system then being upset at the power dynamics that exist because of that. I’m curious what folks think. I think the poster kicked a hornets nest, not understanding how communities of users react to being told what they should or shouldn’t do with their own servers. Thoughts?

So New Zealand got it's first Ikea today. It's national news.... last year we got a Costco which caused mobs of people and was national news for over a week. I know it's silly and consumerist of me, but it sure does make life easier. https://news.google.com/search?q=ikea%20nz&hl=en-NZ&gl=NZ&ceid=NZ%3Aen

No shade to the microblogging twitter like apps but we’re seeing a wave of new apps that take Nostr in to being the universal social app protocol. We’re learning what Nostr native means. View quoted note →

New version of the diVine released to TestFlight. This one focused on lists. I think we should do more with lists in Nostr.

Anthropic released a new model, Opus 4.5 and i'm playing with it. I had it generate some docs for a server i'm working on setting up, and it created a docx file which was nicely formatted instead of a markdown file.

Nostr’s core are the developers who build all the apps and servers and other tech we need to make it work. Eventually I hope the tech eventually fades in to the background as users come for the community they can find. We can do better as a developer community. One of the projects I’m working on through And Other Stuff is making Nostr a better place for developers. The first step is to listen and learn, to do that we’re working with the open source support group superbloom. Please fill this out if you’re helping build nostr and share.

If someone speaks fluent Japanese, Chinese, and Thai we would love to translate this in to those languages in order to reach more devs.
